or other monuments left in a state of decay or broken
down, may at any time be removed from the cemetery
by order of the Trustees.

24. Persons purchasing the exclusive right of burial
    in perpetuity in any plot of ground in the cemetery
    may by permission of the Trustees excavate the same
    within one foot of their outside boundaries for the
    purpose of constructing a vault. Before any work
    is commenced towards the construction of any vault,
    the plan and specification of the work connected
    therewith shall be submitted to the Trustees for
    approval, and no work shall be commenced until such
    approval has been obtained.

25. All vaults shall be lined throughout with brick-
    work or concrete, and covered in with arched brick-
    work, concrete, or stone, set in cement. The depth,
    length, and breadth of vaults shall be according to
    agreement with the Trustees. The entrance to the
    vault shall be either by a stone at the top or by an
    iron door. In all cases entrances shall be securely
    fastened, and all work done to the satisfaction of
    the Trustees.

26. Coffins for vaults must be lined with lead or
    other approved metal, to be firmly and securely
    soldered. Coffins may be laid in vaults and covered
    in with concrete or cement, so as to prevent the escape
    of any noxious vapour.

27. All labour, materials, and tools required for
    constructing vaults, or for excavating for vaults,
    must be provided by the parties applying for the
    same.

28. All labour, materials, and tools required for
    reopening vaults for interments, and for reclosing the
    same, must be provided by the party owning the
    vault, and must be approved by the Trustees.

29. All vaults must be kept in proper order and
    repair by the surviving owner. If at any time they
    become out of proper order and repair, the Trustees
    may give the owner fourteen days' notice to repair the
    same, by leaving such notice at the last-known place
    of abode of the owner or his agent. If the address
    of the owner or his agent is not known, or if the
    owner fails to do or cause to be done the required
    repairs within the fourteen days above mentioned,
    the Trustees may at any time cause all such necessary
    repairs to be done, and no interment shall thereafter
    be allowed in such vault until all costs and charges
    of such repairs have been paid to the Trustees,
    together with interest at the rate of 10 per centum
    per annum.

30. All earth and rubbish thrown out when exca-
    vating for vaults must be removed by the person who
    applies for permission to construct such vault. If
    not at once removed when required by the Trustees,
    they may cause the said earth and rubbish to be
    removed, and the costs and charges of so doing may
    be recovered from the person applying for permission
    to construct such vault.

31. No interment shall be permitted in any vault
    until the party requiring to open such vault for inter-
    ment has obtained a burial-warrant, as provided for
    ordinary burials, which warrant shall be sufficient
    authority for the vault named therein to be opened.

32. All charges made for any matter or thing
    relating to the cemetery shall be paid in advance.

33. No body shall be disinterred or removed from
    the cemetery except by order of a Coroner, without
    express permission in writing from the Trustees.
